So this is something really strange that happened. I've been using mostly urxvt and I want 256 color support, so I installed urxvt256c. However, urxvt256c doesn't listen to .Xresources, it stays default settings. My .Xresources looks like this:

! urxvt*background:#20202E
urxvt*background: #2D3233
urxvt*foreground: #f0f0f0
urxvt*cursorColor: #f0f0f0
urxvt.scrollBar: false
urxvt.internalBorder: 6
urxvt.geometry: 91x22

!BLK
urxvt*color0:               #495052
urxvt*color8:               #495052

!RED
urxvt*color1:               #D2738A
urxvt*color9:                #D2738A

!GRN
urxvt*color2:               #C1B492
urxvt*color10:              #C1B492

!YEL
urxvt*color3:               #819E7C
urxvt*color11:              #819E7C

!BLE
urxvt*color4:               #A78B92
urxvt*color12:              #A78B92

!MAG
urxvt*color5:               #8B99B5
urxvt*color13:              #8B99B5

!CYN
urxvt*color6:               #D2738A
urxvt*color14:              #D2738A

!WHT
urxvt*color7:               #DCDCDC
urxvt*color15:              #DCDCDC

!urxvt*borderLess: true
urxvt*font: xft:Monospace:bold:pixelsize=11.5
urxvt*boldFont: xft:Monospace:pixelsize=11.5
urxvt.letterSpace:-1
Xft.dpi:96
Xft.antialias:1
Xft.hinting:1
Xft.hintstyle:hintslight
Xft.autohint: false
Xft.rgba:rgb
Xft.lcdfilter:lcddefault

! clickable urls
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,matcher
URxvt.url-launcher:    /usr/bin/firefox
URxvt.matcher.button:  1

Any way to make urxvt256c inherit the .Xresources?

The configuration made in .Xresources does not affect urxvt immediately. These settings need to be reloaded for any new instance to apply them. You may use xrdb to do so:

xrdb -load ~/.Xresources

Changing urxvt to urxvt256c fixed it!
